The Black Tornado of Med ford
high school moves Into Southern
Oregon conference action for the
first time tomorrow night at Klam
ath Falls when Coach Bill Bower
man sends his potentially great Red
and Black machme against the Pel'

sharp at Modoc field.
Hundreds of Med ford pigskin fans.
their minds ringing with the ques
tion is the Tornado ready at last
to resume domination of southern
Oregon prep football? will make
the trip over the GreensprtnRH
Klamath officials expect the largest
outpouring of spectators In history
for the battle that will go a long
way toward producing the 1937
champion.
It's Crucial Tilt
Yet untested In conference action,
Med ford's Tigers will be gunning for
position at the top of the heap
with Ashland, tied now with Klam
ath Falls for the leadership, botn
with one win, no losses, and one
tie. A victory for Klamath Falls will
clinch at least a tie for the champ
Ion ship, while a Medford win will
skyrocket Tiger stock to a par With
Ashland.
Both teams, probably the most
Bitter high school rivals In the
state, show rather spotty records, to
date, under the first year coaching
of Snowy Oust af eon, who succeeded
Lea Avrlt, the Pelicans have won
one game, lost two, and tied one,
Opening the season, Klamath Fails
lost to a great Dunsmulr eleven, 0
13: then dropped a 6-7 verdict to
The Dalles, considered one of Ore
gon's better outfits. Grants Pass was
defeated, 16-0, In a conference bat
tle, and last Friday night the Peli
cans and Ashland fought to a fl-6
deadlock, with the Klamrthltes scor
ing In the last IS seconds to escape
defeat.
Coach Bowerman'a Black Tornado
opened the season with an 18-0 win
over a strong alumni team, then
were upset by an under-rated Rood
River machine, 13-14. Roaeburg, of
fering little competition, was whack
ed 80-7, and last Friday the Tigers
bowed to Eureka, 13-30.
Tigers "Hopped"
It will be the "big" game of the
year for both teams, the game that
means more, In the long run, than
all others combined. The Tigers,
following an easy practice week to
conserve their strength and man
power, cut rather low against Eur
eka, are hopped to the skies for
their 1987 conference debut. Klam
ath Falls, like Medford falling, so
far, to display all the power and
brilliance expected, la girded to at
tempt to turn In the third victory
In history over a Medford team.
Individual performers of botn
teams stand out brightly. Klamath
Falls has rugged, hard-running Dom
inic Olovanlnl, the power-house
fullback who pounded and fought
his team to a 8-0 victory over the
Tigers laat year at Medford. And,
Pete Green, a speedster and a new
comer to Pelican ranks, whom many
believe la greater than Olovanlnl.
The Tornado la sparked by bril
liant Bobby Bt linger, 185 pounds
of dynamic left halfback and one
of the finest climax runners to ever
trod a southern Oregon gridiron.
And, Red Root, a hard-working
flankman or blocking back, who
goes about his work with little show
but tremendous effectiveness.
Both Have Color
Both teams boast complicated and
colorful a tucks which, so far, have
failed to break Into high. Tomorrow
may be the night. Yancey, Pelican
halfback, can pltrh pansea (his toss
to Green tied Ashland), and Bttin
ger, Bowman, Hill, Campbell and
Stead of Medford can cut loose with
overheads. Both tnras reply on spin
ners, reverses and other offensive
magic. It la a certainty that both
outfit will open the book In an
attempt to score, and score plenty.
Because of Injuries received In the
bruising Eureka encounter, Medford
may be forced to open with a soph
omore fullback, one of the key po
sitions. Eldon Grow, receiving a
bruised muscle In his leg. Is stiu
unable to run. Hla alternate. Jack
Hill, also a right halfback, received
a kicked head and Conch Bower
man plans to give him a rest, in
ease neither Is able to start tomor
row, probably Bob New land, up from
laat year's Junior high team, will
get the fullback call.
Halfbacks Mettled
Ettlnger and Bowman will start
at the halfback posts with Red Root
at quarterback, the blocking back
field position.
In the line, Prentice will open
at center, Wally Erl and Oene Arch
ibald at the guards, Hubert Santo
and Dan Ehrhsrt at the tackles,
and Don Montelth and Bob Wilson,
who played a sweet defensive game
sgalnst Eureka the second half, at
the ends. i
For Klamath Falls, Olovanlnl win
be at fullback, Wee Yancey and j
Pete Green at the halves, and Angus
at quarter.

Mathematical Touchdowns
Keep Team's Record Clear
BALTIMORE, Oct. 31. (AP) A mathematics professor turned coach,
I who works out "plays like equations," has brought Morgan college
for negroes through six years of football M games without a de
feat.
"It's all a matter of timing
Coach Edward P. Hurt said. "In
science you won't be satisfied with
anything leas than exactness. You
need the same exactness in coach
ing a football team."
He doesn't talk about his plays,
but he was ready with bis pencil
to draw diagrams of them. He nasn't
any favorites he says he likes any
thing which will gain ground.
Like the "Round Robin" he used
against Bluefleld State Teachers in
1936. The fullback threw a forward
pass, a halfback scooped It In ana
la trailed it to another half. The sec
ond man lateral led again to tne
fullback, who had come wide around
end. Then tne fullback made a
touchdown. Things like that, Hurt
said, account for six-year totals like:
Morgan, 983 points; all opponents,
82. v
Hurt likes an open game, em
phasizing speed and teamwork.
"Colored boys are springy In their
running," he said. "They're good
broken field runners because oi
their natural speed."
He played end for Howard uni
versity in Washington before he
came to Morgan as mathematics pro
fessor. "But I found I was working out
plays with poker chips and on the
margins of books I was reading."
he said. "Now I'm a full-time
coach."
You see," he added, "football is
Just applied mathematics."
the ends, Ewlng and Blwer tne
tackles, Wilson and Sample the
guards, and Harding, center. Reports
from the Pelican city are to the
effect that all members of the
Klamath aggregation are In excel-!
lent condition.
The Tigers, 35 strong, will leave
Medford tomorrow noon for Klamath
Falls, and will rest until game time.

BENSON WINS 37 TO 0
OVER COMMERCE HIGH
PORTLAND. Oct. 21. (AP) Ben
son Tech continued to press tne
leaders of the Portland Interscho
lastlc Football league today follow
ing a 37 to 0 rout of Commerce
high school yesterday. Although the
mechanics are undefeated, they have
suffered one tie.
Gentlemen of the old school have
for years been deploring the ract
that the foot has been removed
from football:
that no longer
does punting,
place-kicking or
drop - kicking
play the import
ant part In the
great fall sport
once did, and
should.
Oentlemen. so
bigo
school ball clubs
in this neck oi
the woods are
concerned, you
are entirely cor
rect. In fact, a
perusal of the scoring records ot
Ashland, Medford, Klamath Fails
and Grants Pass In games to date,
reveal place-kicking apparently plays
no part at all. It's really amazing.
Take a look, coaches O'Connell, Ous
tafson, Tuttle and Bowerman, at
what your little Oscar has discov
ered. First, Mr. O'Connell. In five ban
games this year, your Ashland hign
Grizzlies have rammed or forward
passed to six touchdowns. You beat
Yreka, 12-0; Grants Pass, 12-u;
Crescent City, 6-0; and tied Klam
ath Falls, 6-6. So far as can be
discerned with the naked eye, not
one of those six-pointers were fol
lowed by a place-kick for the extra
point. A successful one, anyway.
And think. Mr. O'Connell, what one
tiny little marker would have meant
in that Klamath Falls conference
encounter.
but you havent seen a place-kick
afterwards amount to anything.
Therefore, It's still unanimous, tnat
Southern Oregon conference teams
don t care about mere one-pointers,
Now as for Medford and you,
Coach Bill Bowerman, why enter
Into the fun and spoil things.
Your outfit has collected in
touchdowns In four games for
a really nice offensive record,
although the extra points added
after those scores are only five. ,
One little point would have
come In handy In the 1S-M
defeat by Hood Klver, but on
the whole, your average Is fair.
In comparison to Grants Pass,
Ashland and Klamath Falls,
your percentage Is astounding.
Totaled up by our chief math
matlclan, it appears that out of
27 touchdowns scored by conference
teams this year, only five have been
tailed by one more point, and those
five touchdowns were increased to
seven-pointers by Medford. Ashland,
Klamath Falls and Grants Pass are
batting exactly zero. In other words,
of the 14 touchdowns tallied by
those three ball clubs, none have
been followed by the extra point.
What's the answer? You have us
there, Steve. Unless, of course, as
Intimated earlier In this discussion,
high school football teams around
these parts don't pay much atten
tion to grabbing every opportunity
to score points. Or else, coaches and
players, alike, have forgotten the
value of a- dependable place-klcker
In their frantic search for more and
better touchdowns.
Mr. Gustafson of Klamath Falls,
the same goes for you. A success! ut
conversion In those final hectic sec
onds would have meant the uncus
puted top spot Instead of a tie tor
the league leadership, as now exists,
Also, a place-kick between the cross
bars In your 6-7 loss to The Dalles
would have meant a welcome dead
lock. In your other games, you beat
Grants Pass, 18-0, and lost to Duns
mulr, 6-12, and like Ashland, v
would take a , magic microscope to
discover Just one successful extra
point turned in by your eleven
Your Pelicans have scored six touch
downs this year, but have yet to
add the extra point. So, that makes
It unanimous so far.
Mr. Loren Tuttle of Grants Pass,
you've seen your Cavemen score only
twice to date. 12-0 against Yreka,
